---DATA SET OVERVIEW:
This dataset contains marine sediment chemistry from the Beaufort Sea. 
Data are for concentrations in surface sediments (top 1 cm) of metals (Ag, Al, 
As, Ba, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Methyl-Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, Tl, V, Zn), 
total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and individual compounds. Also 
included are sediment grain size and total organic carbon (TOC). These data 
were collected from 16 August 1999 through 09 August 2002.

Concentrations of Ag, As, Ba, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Methyl-Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, 
Sb, Tl, V and Zn are ppm (µg/g) dry weight. Concentrations of Al, Fe, and 
Total Organic Carbon (TOC) are in percent (%) dry weight. Sand, Silt, Clay and 
SiltClay (Silt+Clay) sediment fractions are also percent (%) dry weight. Total 
PAH (TotalPAH) and all hydrocarbon components are ppb (ng/g) concentrations.

ppm = parts per million
ppb = parts per billion
